From the official clammbon site: besides playing in FOSSA MAGNA with Mito, Mr. Itou Daisuke has another side project with guitarist ASH. Their drums-and-acoustic-guitar band is called LOTUS GUITAR, and their album first trip is due out June 7. You can follow the link on the clammbon site to ASH ON WEB, then visit the video room for a clip of their song "dobby dick". It sounds like nice energetic stuff.
I have been listening to the ohana and FOSSA MAGNA albums; they couldn't be much more different. ohana is absurdly upbeat reggae-pop, while FM is pretty avant-garde jazz. Both are quite worth a listen.
